You need to aim much higher!

Agreed, I paid 125(isn) for my jacketed set of RU last year (or maybe the year before -- can't remember). I would have thought decent condition with reasonable condition jackets should be no more than 100-150, to be honest, depending on the condition.

And I notice that the 3 sold were for 125 quid. A cynical observer might think they were trying to catch out the unwary by getting a few sales under the belt and jacking the price. You would have to be pretty dumb, though...

So your nephew gets turned into a robot for $75 - $200? Sounds like a good deal. If I had a nephew, I'd want him turned into a robot that could stock the fridge and fetch beer from it without complaining.

I will make inquiries with HarperCollins, I like the book covers

Good Man!

I agree that they look nice - I just have to pretend that I haven't seen the words "Film Tie In" anywhere as I very specifically don't collect any of the books with movie covers (as they have all previously looked horrible).

With these new ones, I'd definitely like them with the DJ if they do produce any.
